Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 363 1 stone 2 birds

"So, this poison may not be given to King Dong..."

Emperor Zhaoming's gaze gradually became cold and fierce.

The face of the Minister of Justice Fan Chong turned pale. He gritted his teeth and endured for a long time, but he couldn't help but curse:

"This is a vicious villain! This is treason! He must be tortured to death!"

These are the affairs of the court officials.

Daiyu subconsciously stepped back to the right, increasing the distance between herself and Emperor Zhaoming, and moved closer to Hongchang, looking at the Supreme Being with her.

It just happened like that.

Tai Shang just closed his eyes, and a drop of turbid old tear quickly slid down his thin cheekbone.

A feeling of sadness welled up in Daiyu's heart.

Tonight, the Emperor and the Emperor Emeritus invited so many people to the New Year's Eve banquet. They also specially called the King of the East back from the East China Sea to join them. This was to reassure the ministers and let them understand:

Although the emperor has his own mindset, the friendship they once shared on the battlefield together will not be wiped out. As long as everyone does not mess around, the Supreme Lord and the Emperor are willing to give everyone a good end.

But there was someone who harbored malicious intent and actually brought poison into the palace.

The Emperor came down from the high steps and drank with his ministers, which was a heartfelt expression of his generosity to them.

However, there are still people who are deliberately and ruthlessly taking advantage of this opportunity to not only poison Tai Shang, but also frame the King of the East!

What kind of hatred and vengeance is this? !

Could it be that the camaraderie between the Supreme Lord and these people, and their fathers and ancestors, forged through blood and fire, is fake? !

People are not enough to swallow elephants.

Daiyu sighed deeply and cursed softly through gritted teeth: "Ungrateful, greedy, ruthless, ruthless, beastly!"

Only Hongchang and Taishang could hear these words.

Hongchang said nothing, just picked up the handkerchief and wiped his tears.

The Supreme sighed as he spoke, hunched over, waved his hands, held onto the table, stood up shakily, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Emperor, I'll leave all these matters to you. I'm tired, I'll go back and rest first..."

Emperor Zhaoming looked at the Supreme Being steadily, then bowed and agreed, "Yes, Father."

"Zhaoqing, Hongchang, help me back." The emperor supported the two girls on the left and right, and staggered to the back of the throne, "Call your queen mother."

Daiyu and Hongchang answered softly.

After walking two steps, Daiyu naturally turned around, looked at the Princess of Anchang County who was ignored by the Lord, and called her softly: "What are you staring at? Come quickly."

An Chang, who was frozen and didn't know what to do, quickly got up, holding up her skirt and followed quickly.

As soon as the few people walked around the screen, they were greeted by Tao Xingjian's face, which had turned pale with anger, his body trembling, and a small paper bag in his hand.

When the two sides met, they were stunned.

The eyes of the Supreme Lord and Daiyu fell on the paper bag first. They stared at it for a long while, and then Daiyu said in a hoarse voice: "I actually guessed it?"

Tao Xingjian shuddered again as she spoke, then looked at the Supreme Being, his heart ached, tears fell, and he choked up and said, "Yes..."

After taking a long breath, Daiyu tiredly let him go: "The eunuch will report to His Majesty. As for the Grand Master, I will explain here."

Tao Xingjian bowed gratefully and ran away quickly.

Daiyu lowered her head, supported the emperor and walked to the back door, and called Anchang softly: "Go and tell the Queen Mother to come back to Taiji Palace to accompany the emperor."

After a pause, he added, "Don't alarm others."

An Chang looked at the Taishang who was almost unable to move, and knew that this was not the time for him to compete for favor, so he quickly agreed and left.

"What did you guess just now?" As soon as Anchang left, Tai Shang couldn't wait to ask in a low voice.

Daiyu was silent for a while, then she said softly, "I'll ask Supervisor Tao to search the King of the West."

"You!" Tai Shang's face suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, "You are too bold! What if we can't find it?!"

If they can't find it, once the Western King recovers and spreads the news, Emperor Zhaoming will be in trouble!

At the New Year's Eve banquet, two kings of different surnames were poisoned and vomited blood, and the royal family actually suspected one of them!

Who would believe that there is no conspiracy behind this action? !

If you meet someone who is bold and mean-spirited, he will directly say that summoning the three kings into the palace is a scam, just to eliminate all the kings of different surnames in one fell swoop!

By then, I am afraid that Prince Beijing’s act of treason will be turned upside down and whitewashed into "a frame-up by the royal family"!

Daiyu bit her lower lip lightly and whispered, "My late mother once wrote that a strange poison had flowed out of the West Mansion..."

The Supreme grabbed her wrist fiercely, his eyes like an eagle: "Where is the record now?!"

Daiyu raised her head timidly and looked directly at the Supreme Lord: "It's ruined."

"You!" The Supreme Lord was filled with rage and threw Daiyu's hand away. "How dare you! You are bullying the emperor!"

Daiyu knelt straight down and said, "Reporting to the Supreme Lord, this involves my relatives, so I have to destroy them! Even if I am cut into pieces, I, the daughter of the Lin family, will not regret it!"

Dear, elder!

So, the Jia family is indeed involved in a lot of things!

Tai Shang closed his eyes, calmed his breathing, and supported his whole body with Hong Chang on his left side. He moved his right hand and said in a deep voice:

"For the sake of your truthfulness... and for the sake of the Queen Mother, I pardon you. But you must not mention this matter again. Get up."

Daiyu bowed her head in agreement, stood up, and took hold of Taishang's right hand again.

Dai Quan and Hong Chang subconsciously looked at each other secretly, but when they saw the fear in each other's eyes, they couldn't help but look away quickly.

Anyone who hears this conversation between these two will probably faint on the spot!

As soon as His Majesty stepped out of the back door of the Linde Hall, the Empress Dowager hurried in right after him. Tanchun, Aunt Meng and others also followed behind with nervous expressions.

Seeing the Queen Mother's worried look, the Supreme Lord quickly forced a smile:

"We are too old to bear the brunt of the trouble. Let's go back and rest first, and let the young people do the fighting."

"Okay! I'm just too lazy to sit at this kind of table!" The Queen Mother didn't ask any more questions, but smiled and took the Emperor's hand.

The two old men walked slowly, each wrapped in their cloaks tightly, looked up at the bright starry sky, and gradually relaxed.

"Look at the starry sky tonight. It will definitely be a nice day tomorrow." The Queen Mother murmured.

The Supreme One hummed and said casually, "My son is blessed. He can offer sacrifices to the gods and temples comfortably without freezing his hands."

The Queen Mother thought for a moment and laughed again: "The year you made me Queen, we went to the temple to offer sacrifices. It snowed heavily on New Year's Day and I almost froze to death!

"As soon as I opened the seal, someone impeached me, saying that I was unworthy of the position. It would be more appropriate to say that the Xiao family was more suitable. But you threw the letter in their face! Do you still remember?"

The Supreme thought back and laughed, shaking his head, saying, "What you think is absurd may not be what others think.

"That classmate is the brother of Empress Yuan's mother. His memorial was not intended to make me depose you, but to make you fight with the Xiao family.

"They will feel comfortable only when you both suffer losses in the fight.
